Unused Personal Protective Equipment donated to local hospitals

Research groups from the Department of Chemistry donated their unused PPE to Boston hospitals fighting the COVID-19 pandemic.

When statewide orders to stay at home shut down the typical amount of research conducted within the labs of the Department of Chemistry, researchers seized the opportunity to help offset the massive shortage of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) that area hospitals faced.

The Department of Chemistry is extremely grateful to all who participated in this effort to provide needed supplies to our local healthcare workers, and to the DCIF staff who helped manage the collection area.
